Window Shopping:Shoes in FLORENCE,ITALY

Florence is a treat for fashion-food-art lovers! This city has the most beautiful houses ever with doors as high as 20 feet and windows the size of doors in India! The grandeur makes your jaw drop in awe. Besides architecture, the curious shopper will find his heaven too.The famous leather market of Florence is world-renowned and is definitely a competition to Dharavi , not because it has great prices but because it has the most vibrant shades of bags and shoes made from leather. If you ask me why I am not featuring that market here, its a simple reason- I almost rushed through it as i was running out of time and i was so engrossed I almost forgot my camera! In this post I will take you through high-street shops in Florence. Though you may find the regular shops like OVS, Accessorize, I am taking you through some special ones here. Lets get some shopping inspiration!

1. "Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy." --Bertrand Russell
   
                                 Pisa is a painting so beautiful, you want to be a part of it!

THE FAMOUS FLORENCE LEATHER

Having climbed 400+ stairs to be here, no less than a victory!

And the feeling of victory continues!You have me conquered Florence!

A 1 hour train from Florence & here I am PISA!

Wandering the streets of the charming town

One of the 7 wonders of the Medieval World- The Leaning tower of Pisa is more beautiful than  its picture! It is 183 ft high and leans by
3.97 degrees - 12 feet, 10 inches (4m) off vertical

A view I never imagined, the famous tower peeks from behind the cathedral

The look of a satisfied me : Pizza, spaghetti & lots of Italy !

This has been my most favorite holiday look by far! Just the right amount of freedom with this airy Jumpsuit palazzo and elegance added with a white bolero .a touch of red with my Bourjois So delicate lipcreme.

What i wore in Florence- Part 1

 Open my heart and you will see,
Graved inside of it, "Italy."

-Robert Browning

 

 

When I reached Florence in the evening, my legs pained like they have never pained before!All the walking in Venice and running on the train platforms as we changed 3 trains to reach here, had its toll on me.( Don't ask why i changed 3 trains!) Inspite of the pain, I mustered the courage to land up in piazzale michelangelo . A place designed in 1869 by Florentine architect Giuseppe Poggi,from where you get the most beautiful view of the glorious city.Not to mention the famous artwork of Michelangelo-'DAVID ',that has been recreated here in bronze while the original is made in marble.

The captivating view from Piazzale Michelangelo

  

The replica of Statue of DAVID : believe me this is not even half as beautiful as the real work in white Marble

 

So you ask me what is so special about the statue of this unclothed man? Read on,

Michelangelo took three years to finish his David.And here is Vasari’s description of David,
…nor has there ever been seen a pose so easy, or any grace to equal that in this work, or feet, hands and head so well in accord, one member with another, in harmony, design, and excellence of artistry. (Translated by Gaston du C. de Vere) Michelangelo’s David stands over 14 feet tall!Remember that the biblical figure of David was special to the citizens of Florence—he symbolized the liberty and freedom of their republican ideals, which were threatened at various points in the fifteenth century by the Medici family and others.
